  • 1.  Change default file save path?

    Posted Fri July 07, 2023 01:48 PM

    Hey,

    Within our University we use the Downloads folder in Windows as the default file save path for Office. It is set with GPO's specific for Office. As there is no GPOs for SPSS to change the default file save path. Is there any other way within SPSS Statistics to change the default file save path?

    Hi @Andreas Balter 

    You could change this in the Statistics client preferences under "Edit ->Options" and the "File Locations" tab

    Hey!

    Ok. Is this setting saved in a specific file?

    Hi @Andreas Balter 
    On Microsoft Windows, this is a collection of settings under this key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\com\ibm\/S/P/S/S\/Statistics\one\ui\options\file_locations

    On macOS, it is a similar collection of settings in the com.ibm.spss.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.ibm.spss.plist
